JYSK Ireland chief Roni Tuominen said: “Since JYSK launched in Ireland four years ago, we have had a very clear strategy – to open a JYSK store where we see a gap in the market and where there is an appetite for a leading brand to offer high-quality homewares at an excellent price point.

"JYSK has been welcomed by towns and cities across Ireland that needed the injection of a new international brand opening on their doorstep and we are delighted today to announce the opening of our newest store in Dublin, as well as the goal of opening another 10 stores and the creation of 100 new jobs in next 12 months.”

Last year JYSK recorded a turnover in the UK and Ireland of €97 million, which is an increase of 40 per cent year-on-year.

Overall the group saw customer growth of 67 per cent in 2022, with further growth projected this year.

The retailer opened its first store in Naas in 2019, now the company currently employs 256 people in Ireland and has plans to open a further 10 stores in that time, according to BusinessPlus.ie.
